I know that sometimes people troll this place hard, and bring up outrageous claims for who "they know for a fact" is going to be the next head coach. Some people flat out just act like children and say a persons name over and over not adding any kind of intelligent conversation to the forum. My question is, why do some of the mods put up these dictatorial decrees saying they will ban people over a post dealing with certain people. I think its a little rude that some of the mods throw their power around and basically try to tell people to shut up. In cases when people just post mind-numbing threads that have no substance what-so-ever, then yes lock the thread, delete it, huff and puff about how you are the boss and move on. But if and when people have a link they want to share, or something they want to say, or even if they just want to gauge how people feel about someone, whats the problem with that?

I am currently serving in the military, I have been on this football forum for years, and recently it seems mods have gotten more harsh on what people say. Not to be cliche but last time I checked there is freedom of speech.

Go ahead and tell me its a free board and if I don't like it i can post somewhere else, I just think that you shouldnt belittle the people who make your forum run.

In my opinion there should be an etiquette over how mods should approach people.

And that etiquette shouldn't be "go ahead post something about this person" and see if I don't ban you. gitimate Query to Mods over Coaching Search.

1. they're being told to not talk about it.2. they have an agenda with another coach.

I cant think of any other reason why. There is currently a thread about hiring Barry Switzer. There's countless threads on Stoops, Pete Carrol, and even a Bill Cowher thread. NONE of those are any less far fetched than Gruden coming to Arkansas, yet that's the ONLY coach they won't allow discussion about.

seems to me that some on there are more worried about being right than worrying about what is right for the Razorbacks
